Where's the spot to start at?

[markmonkey1]

Heading up to Olcott this weekend for our annual trip. Hope to wet the lines Thur evening. Looking for advice on where to start fishing...where have you been having good luck? Starting out, we'd probably search in the 100-200 fow range, unless the action is elsewhere. Advice???!

The fish have been really biting well the past couple days. Run out to the 25.500 N line and set up there on a North troll. Yesterday, out of Wilson, we caught mature kings all through the 26-29 N line. Some good bait pods and active fish working them. Our last trip out we had fish on every rod in the boat. 300,400,500 coppers, 150-250 wire divers, 60-100 ft riggers. The stud of the day was 85' rigger with SD and A-Tom-Mik fly taking 3 matures and a teenager. Many other rods took 2-3 hits in 4 1/2 hours of fishing.

At the same time, a friend started his N troll in 100 fow out of Olcott. He was fishless until he hit the 25.5 N line. By that time we were on our 9th or 10th.

We heard similar reports from a couple charter captains who fished Monday and/or Tuesday.

Big weather came through last night at my house, but I don't know if it went over the lake and changed the conditions or not.

Thx for that info. Changes my game plan! I think the storm band did go over the lake so probably stirred it up some more. We have a depth raider now, so that will def. help!
